Ajax - VVV-Venlo betting tips and odds

With the 1.11 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Ajax will win the match on Thursday. VVV-Venlo winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - VVV-Venlo will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Ajax are coming off the back of a convincing 0:3 victory against Feyenoord in their last outing. Still, the odds were stacked in their favour on that away game, and this match might yet prove to be a similar affair as the biggest bookmakers expec them to stroll to victory.

Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and having home-field advantage, VVV-Venlo tied with RKC Waalwijk in their previous Eredivisie match.

Ajax have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Results and standings notwithstanding, VVV-Venlo have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Eredivisie. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The two teams already met this season in the Eredivisie, with Ajax taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
